I have been digging and reading everything I can get my hands on

regarding Alzheimer's and any type of dementia. It seems there are

several different types which they try to identify by where they start

in the brain and what part of it they destroy. It seems like they are

trying to group some of them together like they have with MSA.

Another thing I've noticed is they talk about ALS becoming part of the

disease at times and since we know that ALS seems to be linked in at

times with the same types of problems as MSA. It's really confusing but

they seem to be trying to gain some ground with all of them.

They are finding mutations on some of the genes which they have

connected to some of the diseases but these areas are so new I don't

think they really know enough yet to know for sure what is happening. I

too am concerned about my family as my grandmother had something close

to this and her sisters had something that could have been similar but

yet I don't remember anyone going through what mother is doing now.

I'll keep you updated on anything else I find.
